EXECUTIVE

R. W. Nuckols, Richard C. Walden,

FrancisPendletonGaines There were giants in that class of 1912 but none of greater stature than Francis Pendleton Gaines whose death on the last day of the dying year closed out the career of one of the greatest educators the South has produced. A man of noble spirit, of lofty vision, he revealed the idealism by which he lived when, in his address at his inauguration as president of Washington and Lee University, he set forth his goal: to "deposit in the life of a boy something a little finer than culture, a little rarer than competence, a little nobler than success." In his later years he spoke often with affection of old Richmond College and of the teachers who helped shape his life. It is not surprising that he singled out his own half-brother, Dr. R. E. Gaines, professor of mathematics who taught him how to think logically, and Dr. John Calvin Metcalf under whom he did his major work in English and from whom he contracted an infectious love for beauty and for books. His last "official" visit to the University of Richmond was in 1960 when he came to the campus for a two weeks' stay as Frederic William Boatwright lecturer. On that occasion he said in one of his public addresses that the King James version of the Bible is the greatest book ever produced, a book that has touched "practically every field of activity." That night he reaffirmed his own faith as a "devout Christian.'' It was another lecture delivered during those same two weeks that left a lasting imprint on the minds of those who heard it. Every man, said Dr. Gaines, lives a "lonely life on a lonely island from which there is no escape." Whether that island is a "flowering Eden" or a "barren, burning hell" is for each person to decide. For each person, he pointed out, there is the "freedom of choice" that permits him to choose between literature or trash, to listen to music that "lifts us to heaven rather than the music that degrades. We can read the books that ennoble and have the imaginary friendships with finer personages of man's history or man's fancy." For Frank Gaines it was Eden, the company of noble minds and souls, the music of a heavenly chorus.

How Richmond

College Was Saved

THE PYRAMID The majestic buildings that now adorn the beloved, pine-studded hills by Westhampton lake might not have been but for a pyramid built long ago . This was not the usual kind of pyramid - the kind that was built by toil and sweat in ancient Egypt. It was a human sort of pyramid - built willingly and lovingly out of the hearts and souls of dedicated people, men and women, young and old, rich and poor, but mostly poor, that is, poor in the material things of life but immensely rich in spirit and sacrifice for those to come. When Virginia Baptists approached the 50th anniversary of the General Association in 1872, they felt that the time had come to take stock of themselves, to review what they had done, to consider the blessings they had received, to lay plans for greater things in the future. They wanted to celebrnte this occasion by some great and benef icent work, in which every Baptist in Virginia could participate; they wanted to give appropriate and tangible expression of their gratitude to the Almighty for their phenomenal rise from "a scattered and feeble few" to the largest denomination in the State. What better way to do these things than by raising $300,000 to strengthen Richmond College, then valiantly struggling to hold its own in the devastation of a cruel war? This they would do. "Memorial" was the world! It was to be a Memorial Fund, raised in a Memorial Campaign, directed by a Memorial Committee , carried to success by Memorialists . The Virginia Baptists felt a divine call to thus enlarge their means of Christian education. Enthusiastic ministers and laymen went forth without pay, and mostly without even traveling expenses, to visit every Baptist church in Virginia, to urge every Baptist family, every member of every family- from the gray-haired grandsire to the youngest fledgling-to have a part in this great enterprise, that was to make the year 1872 the best of all years for Virginia Baptists. Even the land of their erstwhile enemies living northward was invaded successfully one devoted worker proudly returned with $1250 for telling one 'possum ' story. There is a book containing the names of subscribers - our ancestors- many of whom are listed as giving a dollar, fifty cents, even twentyfive cents or less, but before you laugh, just consider what it meant in those days to give even a dime. For all was not well in Virginia in the year 1872 . A depression was on, with a financial panic in the offing. Virginia farmers were plagued with many things. Mortgages

in many cases an1ounted to more than the current value of the farms. For five years there had been no full crops; continued droughts had left only withered fields; forage was insufficient to properly sustain the farm animals. As if that were not enough, a mysterious malady had infected horses; many died and others were too weak to pull the plough. Despite these things and the fact that unusually bad weather in the fall of 1872 and the spring of 1873 had greatly hindered the campaign, when the General Association met in 1873, the Memorial Committee was able to report pledges and bonds totaling $265,000. Virginia Baptists-young and oldgathered in immense numbers for this neverto-be-forgotten Jubilee Meeting. Many distinguished clergymen and visitors from the North and elsewhere were in attendance. A great Tabernacle had been erected on the old Richmond College campus. In this Tabernacle in the early afternoon of May 29th, 1873, Dr. J. L. M. Curry, President of the General Association that year, delivered a powerful 'Memorial' discourse, entitled, Stmggles and Triumphs of Virginia Baptists. There followed a report of the Memorial Committee by Dr. J. L. Burrows, General Superintendent of the 'Memorial' work. Dr . A . E. Dickinson then urged that immediate steps be taken to complete the campaign . Dr. William E. Hatcher ably supported this idea, and proposed that subscriptions be taken then and there. Amidst a storm of applause which the presiding officer could not control, the venerable Jeter arose, said he was the happiest man in audience , and gave $500 in addition to his previous pledge . Dr . Dickinson also gave an additional $500. These two gifts did the trick. The Literary Societies of Richmond College contributed liberally . Subscriptions poured in from every part of that immense structure. Not one who could afford it failed to answer the call. Men, women and children opened their purses; and even articles of jewelry, such as watches, bracelets, earrings and breast pins, were donated . Ladies tore off cherished ornaments without the slightest hesitation, and men were lavish with their heirlooms-piling up their gold and silver watches upon the desk of the Secretary, until a pyramid was formed that will ever be a monument in the history of the denomination-$5,000 ... $10,000 . . . eventually the equivalent of $40,000 ! The goal was oversubscribed. Richmond College would endure! -Woodford B. Hackley [ 1 }

FINANCINGA UNIVERSITY by CHARLES H. WHEELER, III Treasttrer, University of Richmond

"How important is the University 's endowment fund? " Many persons ask this question , but perhaps very few can answer in any specific detail. The endowment fund plays a vital role in the fiscal operations of the University. Last year students in the full-time divisions of the University (Richmond College, Westhampton College, T. C. Williams School of Law, School of Business Administration) paid approximately 60 % of the cost of their education. Of the additional funds necessary to defray the cost of educating such students 21 % came from endowment. Gifts, primarily from the Baptist Cooperative Program , alumni, and the Virginia Foundation for Independent Colleges, made up the remaining 19% . In addition, $76,194 w:is received from endowment for lectureships, fellowships, scholarships, and other designated funds, but all of this was for specific purposes and could be used for nothing else.

At present the endowment fund of the University has a market value of $8,035,350. This is small when compared with $843,000,000 for Harvard University, the richest university in the United States, or as compared with $267,000 ,000 for Massachusetts Institute of Technology , or $233,000,000 for the University of Chicago . These

[ 2 ]

three institutions are among th e wealthiest , but many other smaller ones are very fortunate in the size of their endowments. For example, the market value of the endowment fund of Washington and Lee University is over $18,000,000 . The University 's investment policy is the specific responsibility of a Trustees ' Investment Committee composed of the rector, president, treasurer, and five trustees. The University is very fortunate in the quality of the men on this committee. John B. Siegel, vice president of the Life Insurance Company of Virginia is chairman, and the other trustee members are Overton D . Dennis, officer and director of numerous corporations; Judge Jesse W. Dillon, of the State Corporation Commission; R . T. Marsh, Jr., chairman of the board of First and Merchants National Bank; Richard S. Reynolds, Jr., chairman of the board of Reynolds Metal Company; and E. Claiborne Robins,

president of A. H. Robins Company. The treasurer is responsible for implementing the policies and decisions of the committee. The University employs an investment counsel. Investment committees had a relatively simple problem during the first part of the century. A review of the portfolios of endowment funds during that period shows that the holdings were primarily railroad and corporate bonds. High grade bonds yielded 6% to 8%, medium grade bonds 8% to 9% . Preferred stocks yielding 7% or 8% were also included in many funds. Our financial problems would be greatly simplified if we were receiving 8% on our investments today. It was not until the 1920's that common stocks found their way into endowment funds, and then only in a modest way. During the '30's and '40's the yields on bonds decreased while the yields on common stocks increased. The managers of endowments found it necessary to put a larger percentage of their funds into common stocks in order to obtain needed income. Some funds have as much as 75% in equities. The greatest amount the University of Richmond has had in common stocks is 55% . First mortga ge loans are used as media of investment by many funds. The University makes first mortgage loans only on homes and lodges built on the University campus. At the present time the University's portfolio is divided as follows: Bonds , 46% ; Common stocks, 51 %; Real estate loans , 3 %In the 1940's many institutions started using formulas to regulate the percentage of bonds, preferred stocks, and common stocks in their portfolios. Some of the formulas were not realistically designed and consequently had to be discarded. A formula will have one sure advantage: it will call attention to the fact that stocks should be sold when the market is up and that stocks should be bought when the market is down. The University is not like an insurance company which has new money for investment every day or every week. We have new money only when a gift is received. This does not mean that the Investment Committee does nothing between gifts. Regular meetings are held to determine policies and make changes in the portfolio. The cost of operating the University, like everything else, constantly increases. In 1944 the budget for the University was $600,000. By 19S4 it had increased to $1,400,000, and this year it is $3,350,000. The largest item in the University budget is faculty salaries. To acquire and keep a faculty of the high quality expected of the University of Richmond requires more and more money each year. Salaries are being increased all over the country, and the competition must be met if we are to maintain our faculty. Furthermore, the University of Richmond has always had a faculty of long tenure. This has been one of the strong features of the institution. To lose our faculty because we could not meet the salary competition would be unthinkable.

One may ask, why are tu1t10n and fees not increased ? They have been raised three times in the past seven years. Salaries and other costs have gone up, and as stated above, students are still paying only 60% of the cost of their education. A bequest by A . D. Williams established a trust in 19S2 in the amount of $1,635,000 for scholarships and fellowships at the University. Last year 660 students received from the University's endowment and the \Villiams Trust scholarships and fellowships totalling $161,699. About the turn of the century the Trustees of Richmond College agreed to establish a tuition scholarship upon receipt of $1,000. Such an amount could be expected to yield approximately $80, which was the tuition fee at that time. In 1917 the amount required to establish a scholarship was increased to $2,000. As student fees increased and interest rates decreased, these scholarships were yielding only a portion of the tuition fee. In 1937 the Trustees realized this was too costly for the University and agreed to pay to the holder of a scholarship established after that date only the income earned on the scholarship fund. At that time there were 127 $1,000 and $2,000 scholarships. Today the income on each of these scholarships is $4S or $90, which is only a fraction of the $200 the University pays to each recipient of these scholarships. Obviously, this is an expensive operation, but the University feels obligated to keep the agreements made with the donors of these scholarships. Many alumni now realize they could not have attended college without scholarship assistance. The treasurer frequently receives a letter from an alumnus asking how much scholarship assistance he received while in college. The alumnus, when he learns the amount, usually sends a contribution to the University so that some other worthy student will be able to attend college. Alumni can assist their alma mater m many ways. One is by giving regularly to the Alumni or Alumnae Fund. These gifts may be designated for a special purpose or for the general operations of the University. Many alumni can also add to the University's income in ways other than by direct giving. A large number of corporations are matching the gifts of their employees to educational institutions. If the company for which an alumnus is working has such a plan, he should be certain that the company is informed of his gift so that the University will doubly benefit. Foundations and corporations are extending particular support to institutions of higher education whose alumni are giving tangible evidence of their loyalty. Alumni are urged to remember the University in their wills and to ask their friends to do so. The University of Richmond could not maintain its present respected position in education without the income from its endowment and the support from the church, from corporations, and from the alumni.

It is sig nificant that Dr . Wheeler is one of only 268 Chartered Financial Analy sts in the United States . It is significant too that he hos served with distinction as president of the National Federation of College ond University Business Officers Associations. His elevation to the treasurership of the University deprived the institution of one of its great teachers. Students who flunked his mathematics-and he was never an easy teacherusually paid him the compliment of wanting to repeat the course under him. Those who have penetrated a sometimes gruff exterior have found a warm human being , a kindly person who lives by the spirit of the Golden Rule.

EmilyGardner:

Physician, Friend, Servant of Mankind

University alumnae, alumni and others from the Richmond community assembled in Keller Hall at Homecoming to pay homage to the fate Dr. Emily Gardner, "beloved phys·ician, gracious friend, and humble servant of Christ." The quotation is from the address delivered by former governor Colgate W . Darden in dedicating the Gardner memorial room in the Crenshaw swimming pool wing of Keller Hall. Shortly before the dedication Dr. Darden had joined President Modlin in a visit to the memorial room where Dr. Gardner's portrait hangs. From this attractively decorated room visitors can look out upon the swimming pool through two large windows. With them were Miss Fanny G. Grenshaw, Mrs. Elizabeth Camp Smith, '18, and Mrs. Mary Clay Camp, '18, members of the decorating committee . The vis·itors moved to the reception room of Keller Hall at 10: 30 o'clock for the dedication ceremony with Frances A. Stallard, president of the Alumnae Association, presiding. A tribute to Dr. Gardner was delivered by Elizabeth N. Tompkins, '19, who spoke of both her college days with Dr. Gardner and their service together on the board of trustees of the University. Following a brief message from Dr. Modlin, Dr. Darden delivered the dedicatory address. For members of the class of 1918 the dedication was a spiritual reunion with their distinguished classmate whose career and

character were extolled by the former Virginia governor. Dr. Darden told the group that "of those whom I have known, friends and acquaintances alike, over years more numerous than I care to recall, none had greater compassion and understanding than did Emily Gardner." He spoke of the contributions Dr. Gardner had made to her fellow man, through the University, her chosen profession, and public service. He started with recollections of their childhood, when they attended high school in Franklin, Virginia. "It took no profound intelllect to grasp the fact that she was Phi Beta Kappa material and her later election to membership in this learned society served only to convince us that the Chapter at Westhampton was a little behind the times," he said. "It took them several years to discover something we had known all along." "Emi ly Gardner as a schoolgirl exceLled as an athlete as well as a scholar," said Dr. Darden. It was in this field that she embarrassed Dr. Darden and his male schoolmates, for, he said, "she baffled and frus,trated us no end . She was quick and nimble beyond words. We came to discourage her in her athletic activities, not out of any deference to her sex. We did it simply to avoid the humiliation of being beaten so frequently," he said with a smile. Dr . Darden ,talked of Dr. Gardner's professional career and of her desire, long before college days, to become a doctor. "It [ 4

was a profession," he said, "for which she was intellectually and emotionally especially well-equipped. She possessed that gentleness of spirit and toughness of mind which are desirable in any walk of life but of incalculable worth in a physician." Her work, he said, "was for her far more than a livelihood . It was for her a call to service to mankind; and to the end, this was her guiding star. There was another trait which makes life so much easier for those who possess it," he added. "She possessed in full measure a contagious and puckish sense of humor that enabled her to laugh at herself and her friends. And this she often did but never in a spirit that lacked kindness." Dr. Gardner_ was a graduate of the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania, and she interned in Pennsylvania and New York. She returned to Virginia as Assistant Director of the Bureau of Child Health with the Commonwealth's Department of Health. Her work there earned for her the opportunity of studying abroad on a Mary Putnam Jacobs fellowship. After work in England, Scotland, and Austria, she returned to Richmond and entered upon private practice, specializing in child care. Dr. Darden noted some of the contributions Dr. Gardner made in public service. In 1934 she was chairman of a committee of the Richmond T. B. Association, and later served as its president. She gave more than 20 years of service as a member of the staff of the Evangeline Booth Home and Hospital in Richmond. In 1950 she was named chairman of a medical advisory committee of the Richmond Chapter of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. A few years before her death she was appointed chairman of the co-ordinating committee on services to crippled children of the Virginia Council of Health and Medical Care. In 195 3 she became the first woman to hold the position of chairman of the Richmond City Board of Heal,th. She belonged to many medical societies and was examining physician for St. Christopher's School, St. Catherine's School and Collegiate School. She taught at the Medical College of Virginia and at Richmond Professional Institute. Not the least of her efforts was her service to Alma Mater, for whom she labored long and effectively. A notable contribution was her service on the board of trustees. "But," said Dr. Darden, "the quality which outshone all others throughout her busy life was her unswerving loyalty to her church and her firm adherence to its teaching. My earliest recollection of her is as an enthusiastic young member of the Franklin Baptist Church. My las,t recollection of her is as a devoted and faithful member of the First Baptist Church here in Richmond. She was in truth a beloved physician, she was in truth a gracious friend, but above and beyond all else she was a humble servant of Christ and on the 23rd of January, 1956, that worthy servant was called home ."

Fifty years ago the University moved to its present campus situated on the lovely rolling hilis of Westhampton. The University, however, has never been willing to abandon entirely its old pre-1914 location on West Grace Street. All that remains of the original campus is historic Columbia Building, part of which was built in 1812. This structure has done yoeman's duty through its many years as a part of the University, and since 1914 it has served the T. C. Williams School of Law and the former Evening School of Business Administration. The role of the old campus seemed diminished when the Law School moved to its splendid new quarters on the main campus in 1957. While Richmond municipal officials and business men pondered the future of the downtown business district, University officials reflected upon the role the University should play in the life of downtown Richmond and surveyed the prospects for the Columbia building. "Exciting downtown Richmond'' was a familiar motto that gradually became a reality as new office and apartment buildings, a civic center, and rejuvenated homes in the "fan" district promised new life for the old city. University College The formation of University College in 1962 as the seventh division of the University is likewise bringing new life to the old campus, and with the new community services envisaged for University College it seems certain that the old homestead has plenty of life still in it! University College is already making a significant contribution to exciting downtown Richmond. Indeed , University College, thanks to its popular evening classes, is bursting at the seams. The old campus thus spans over a century of University service to Richmond and Virginia. Men make great institutions, and to put University College into orbit President Modlin invited one of the University's bright young graduates, Martin L. Shotzberger, '48, a former member of the School of Business Administration faculty, to make the College a vital organ in the City's educational life. Within a year the major conception of University College's role in Richmond was clear. Drawing upon the University's traditional strength in the liberal arts, business administration and economics, and relating these assets to Richmond's needs, University College had its work cut out for it. At the present time the evening classes in business administration and economics constitute the greatest responsibility of the College. Students taking these classes are generally seeking certificates, associate awards, or the Bachelor or Master of Commerce degrees. The Junior College In the liberal arts field a totally new program was envisaged. James A. Moncure, '49, associate professor of history in Richmond College, was appointed associate dean

University College

by JAMES A. MONCURE,* '49 *When Martin L. Shotzberger was brought back to the University to give leadership to the program of Univers ,ity College, he gave fost attent ,ion to the selection of associates to head

Author Moncure, associate dean of liberal orts, tells how the school will provide a complete higher educational service for metropolitan Richmond.

of liberal arts of University College with responsibility for the development of the Junior College and an evening graduate degree curriculum leading to the Master of Humanities. Both of these programs are to begin operations in September 1964 . Thus the Columbia Building, which housed bright young day students in the horse-and-buggy era, will welcome enthusiastic young spaceage collegians next year when the Junior College opens its doors for the first time. The Junior College will offer an accredited two-year coeducational liberal arts course of study for students who want the first two years of pre-business and pre-professional liberal arts work, as well as for those who prefer a two-year terminal course rather than a full four-year program. Students who are qualified to perform work on the college level but need individual attention , small classes, personal encouragement, and special guidance will also find the Junior College tailored to suit their needs. With many smaller communities supporting community junior colleges, University officials have good reason to expect that its Junior College will fill an urgent need in metropolitan Richmond. The facilities in the Columbia building, largely unused during the day since the Law School moved, will hum next year with the busy activities of the Junior College. [ 'i ]

The academic standards in the Junior College will approximate those on the "uptown" campus, although the Junior College plans to admit students who need remedial work in mathematics, English, and language. Special courses are being developed to assist students to overcome their academic deficiencies with the conviction that most students will then be able to continue their work for the baccalaureate degree. Those unable to demonstrate the necessary ability will pursue the two-year terminal program leading to the associate of arts award upon the successful compl etion of their work. The stigma so often attached to college failure will not be applicable here because the student will have met his initial commitment. The remedial, indeed, the entire curriculum of the Junior College will be strengthened considerably because the core of the faculty will consist of men and women who have the doctoral degree. Most junior colleges must rely upon faculties with master's degrees whereas the Junior College will have about half of its faculty holding doctorates. This is made possible through the evening graduate courses leading to the Master of Humanities degree. Those who staff this graduate curriculum will complete their teaching responsibilities in the Junior College. It is this fortunate combination that gives the Junior College its unique character as a high-caliber educational institution. The College will have its own institutional and social life, of course, but its focus will be upon qualitative academic achievement for young people who are serious in their quest for an education . The Master of Humanities Degree The University Senate approved the new degree, Master of Humanities, last November. The purpose of the course of study for the degree is to enable adults who have the baccalaureate degree to acquire further knowledge and understanding of mankind's cultural achievements and the essential features of contemporary social, political, and economic life and thought. The degree offers each student an intellectual experience that will widen his vision and better equip him to think and act rationally in our complex society. The degree seeks to bridge the gap that has developed in the present century between over-specialization and general knowledge, and it has been fashioned to draw an intelligent compromise between these two needs. The degree constitutes an extension of the liberal arts and humanities studies to the graduate level to promote the growth and development of the whole man rather than of the specialist by acquainting him with the nature and essential qualities of a number of intellectual disciplines . The courses will give the graduate student a series of refined and scholarly studies of the genera] principles and basic concepts underlying the development of Western Civilization. The course of study will also provide the (Continu ed on Paf!.e 14)

BACK TO SCHOOL FOR MOTHER AND DAD More than 700 mothers and fathers of Univers ity of Richmond students came back to the campus for a Parents ' Day program that everyone agreed was an overwhelming success. It was mor e of a success than had been anticipat ed- so much so, in fact, that the noon luncheon outgrew the Gymnasium and comfortably filled the stands of Millhi ser Field . M ore than 1, 100 parents and sons ate lunch together in the stands or in the shade of nearby trees . All things comspired to make the day a success. The weather was perfect for October 19, and Alma Mater was dressed in her fall finery of reds and gold. Students were proud of their parents and the University ; parents proud of their sons and the University, and the University happy indeed to sponsor the reunion on the campus. Par ents attended classes with their sons,

enjoyed a musical hour in the Chapel, attended a science open house , and strolled over to fraternity row to meet some of the Greeks who also were having open house in honor of the parents. The day ended on a pleasant note, a 21 to 13 victory over Davidson in a football game in City Stadium. There will be other Parents' Days . This was insured through the formation of a Parents ' Organization which adopted a constitution and elected officers. Dr. Robert W. Allen , principal of Woodrow Wilson High School in Portsmouth was unanimously elected president. Dr. Allen had headed a parents' committee which worked zealously with the presidents of Richmond College and the Business School student governments , Russell 0. Siler and Robert S.

In-

of Marshall's "bosom friends" and their influence on him, are revealed in a lively contemporary account which seems to have been "lost" to biographers of the Chief Justice for the past century. The colorful narrative, now neatly preserved in the Archives Division of the Vir ginia State Library, represents the expurgated por,tion of a letter reproduced in part over a century ago by John Pendleton Kennedy. The letter is an acute analysis of the Chief Justice in the year 1827 by the then Attorney General of the United States, William Wirt, well-known essayist, orator, and lawyer. Wirfs six-hundred-word reminiscence summarizes his relationship with Marshall, and in so doing throws light on several hitherto obscure corners of Marshall 's career. The sketch eliminated from the letter, which was addressed to Judge Dabney Carr and dated December 30, 1827, seems innocent enough today, but Kennedy, Wirfs early biographer, saw fit to delete it, and this without indication of the ellipsis, when he was preparing the basic document for publication in the Memoirs of th e Life of William Wirt , Attorney Gen eral of the United States (2 vols., Philadelphia, 1849) . He was writing a bare fifteen years after Wirt' s death, and important contemporaries of the famed lawyer were either living or but recently dead. As ,the reader may see, Kennedy may have gained in contemporary safety but the bowdlerizing process resulted in a century's loss of a more complete understanding of John Marshall. Wirt was led into the reminiscent mood by Carr's report that the Chief Justice had said complimentary things about the Attorney General. In explaining his surprise at Marshall's favorable words, Wirt reviewed the previous three decades to describe "a number of untoward circumstances" which had not improved his standing with Marshall. The expurgated portion of the Attorney General's letter delineates three events of which Marshall's biographers have apparently been unaware: ( 1 ) When Marshall returned to Richmond from Philadelphia in May, 1800, Wirt sorely affronted him by appearing at his house as agent and friend of a Republican editor, who insisted that Marshall explain some expression he had used in Congres sional debate. (2) Although Marshall himself took pains to convince Wirt that he accepted the piquant characterization in the Lett ers of the British Spy with philosophic humor , Mrs. Marshall highly resented the candid description of her husband. (Note: A distinguished alumnus of the University of Richmond, Professor Jay B. Hubbell, of [ 8 ]

Duke University, historian of Southern literature, discovered this fact some years ago.) (3) After the trial of Aaron Burr, Marshall privately discussed with Wirt some of his passages which might be construed as a reflection on the Chief Justice's impartiality; Wirt agreed to modify the stenographic report, then carelessly neglected to do so. After briefly narrating these circumstances, Wirt made brackish comment on the extent to which Marshall's estimate of him had been determined by the prejudices of many individuals, the most important being Wirfs professional rivals and Marshall's personal friends. In ending his survey, Wirt gave high praise to Marshall's good nature ("politics apart") and truly great mind . Kennedy reproduced this concluding and complimentary portion of the sketch with substantial accuracy. The first encounter between Marshall and Wirt occurred in a place and at a season of almost ungovernable party passions. In Richmond in the year 1800, ruffied tempers ended long-standing personal friendships among the inhabitants of the James River village; months before the election, Federalists took to one side of the street, Republicans to the other. Leader of the Richmond Federalists was John Marshall, who, since December, 1799, had been serving in the federal House of Representatives. Early in May, 1800, Mar shall excused himself from the House and returned home to argue cases before the local courts. It appears certain that this visit to Richmond provided the occasion on which Wirt first crossed Marshall. William Wirt, friend and former neighbor as well as political disciple of Thomas Jefferson, was, to John Marshall, one of several uncomfortable reminders of the downfall of Federa lism in the Virginia state government. In December, 1799, he had defeated the Federalist candidate, Jack Stuart, for the clerkship of the House of Delegates , an office of no mean dignity. The affable Wirt numbered among his acquaintances one of those journalistic gentlemen in the middle of the political embroilments of the time. Meriwether Jones was his name, editor of the staunchly Jeffersonian Examiner, a semiweekly. On Marshall 's arrival in Richmond, Jones prepared a letter ,to him (to use Wirfs phrasing) "demanding an explanation of some expression he had used on the floor of congress," an expression wh ich concerned in some way the press, though the particular details are hidden behind bad penmanship . Wirt agreed to deliver the letter to Marshall , whose excitement after its receipt is described in the appended document. Other than the

resentment which Marshall felt towards Wirt for being a party to a demand of doubtful propriety, the results of the JonesMarshaill affair are obscure. It is possible that the main issue was immediately settled by Marshall's denial of the remarks credited to him . Official records and such Philadelphia papers published during the session as are available reveal no speech made by Marshall on the subject of the press at which the most tender opponent could have taken offense. Indeed, Marshall bolted his party and voted with the Republicans in their attempt to repeal the obnoxious Sedition Act, which had been aimed at Jeffersonian editors . In the late summer of 1803, while apprehensively awaiting the birth of his first child, William Wirt sought to calm himself and to amuse his wife by beginning a series of familiar essays in letter form for Th e Virginia Argus , describing the Old Dominion and her people . Soon collected in book form , these unsigned Letters of the British Spy were widely distributed, extravagantly praised, and accurately credited to their true author . Wirfs very haste gave the essays a pleasing air of naturalness, and his complete absorp tion in his borrowed rOlleled him into such frankness in his description of living persons that he himself was amazed when he read the chapters in print. The most popular sketch in the Spy at the time the essays were first published appears to have been the affecting description of James Waddell, the blind preacher ; ,the most significant for the modern student is .the frank portrayal of John Marshall, the best of all eye-witness accounts of the new Chief Justice . In describing Marshall's physical appearance Wirt noted that he was so ioosejointed "as not only to disqualify him , apparently, for any vigorous exertion of body, but to destroy everything like elegance and harmony in his air and movements. Indeed, . . . he is as far removed from the idolized graces of Lord Chesterfield , as any other gentleman on earth. " After other details, the Spy considered his intellect and remarked that "the lightning of heaven is not more rapid nor more resistless, than his astonishing penetration." When he speaks, "the listener is kept perpetuailly in that sweetly pleasurable vibration , with which the mind of man always receives new truths ." He has "the acumen," thought the Spy, "which might constitute him a universal genius." Then the author remembered gossipy references to Marshall 's love of idleness and good company . "But if he be the truant, which his warmest friends represent him to be, there is very little probability that he will ever reach this distinction ." The baJ!ance, it appears to the modern reader who completes the entire description, is on the credit side, and while Marshall was momentarily nonplussed by the portrayal he soon went out of his way to prove to Wirt that he bore him no grudge. He seemed to forgive; it was harder to forget, especially when his wife well remembered. As revealed

JUICY AND ILLEGIBLE. Author Robert invites Bulletin readers to help him decipher line nine on the page above . This is page two of a six-page letter now in the Virginia State Library .

in the letter to Carr , Mrs. Marshall was "exceedingily angry" because of the Spy. The prejudices of his wife, a semi-invalid whom Marshall fairly worshipped, could not have been without some effect on him. In the trial of Aaron Burr , held in Richmond in the summer of 1807, John Marshall presided over the Circuit Court and William Wirt assisted with the prosecution. It was in the course of the proceeding s that Wirt delivered his famous description of Blenn erhasset, into whose island Eden the serpent Burr came, a display of eloquence which has a secure niche in any collection of the greatest orations of America , albeit it was worn thin through overuse in the literary societies of the succeeding generations . Blennerhasset himself was unimpressed by Wirfs flourishes, giving more praise to the calves feet jelly sent by Wirfs mother-in-law , a strong[ 9 }

minded matron of Federalist leanings. Burr 's defenders pictured him as a man mercilessly persecuted by President Jefferson for political reasons, and the Chief Justi ce appeared to some observers unduly tolerant of these charges against the Chief Magi strate . Luther Martin, the "impudent federal bull-dog ," as Jefferson called him , made angry references to the President and shouted, "He has let slip the dogs of war , the hell-hounds of per secution, to hunt down my friend ." Wirt , incensed at these reflections on his patron and his president repli ed : Sir, no man , foreigner or citizen, who hears this language addre ssed to the court , and received with all the complacency at least which silence can imply, can make any inferen ces from it very honourable to the court.

Science Symposium Honors Virginia Institute for Scientific Research

U. of R. WelcomesNeighbor By RANDOLPH H. WALKER, '60

The University of Richmond extended the hand of welcome to a new neighbor this fall. The newcomer is the Virginia Institute for Scientific Research , which in 1963 swung into full operation on 15 acres at the southern tip of the Univer ~ity's property near River Road. Three nationally known scientists came to share their knowledge with the University 's scientific community at a symposium in honor of the Institute . Leading slate of speakers was Dr. Carroll M . Williams, '37, former chairman of the biology department of Harvard University, who is now devoting most of his time to research . Other speakers were Dr. Clifford G. Shull , professor of physics at Massachu setts Institute of Te chnology, and Dr. William R. Krigbaum, professor of chemistry at Duke University. The scientists were invited to speak by th-e science deparitments of the University, which was host to the symposium. "We could think of no more appropiate way to welcome to the campus our new neighbors than a science symposium ," said Dr. James E. Worsham , associate professor of chemistry and chairman of the arrangements committee. October 18 dawn ed crisp and clear, and at 9 a.m. chemists , physicists and biologists from all parts of Virginia gathered at Dennis Auditorium , in the University 's School of Business Administration. On hand to greet the visitors were the staff members of the Uni versity's science departments as well as

Headquarters of the Virginia Institute for Scientific Research (above) were dedicated on October 3, 1963 and n-amed in honor of Dr. Allen T. Gwathmey. At the left, Dr. Billy W . Sloope (kneeling), senior research physicist for the Institute and a member of the University of Richmond faculty, and Calvin 0 .

Dr . Henry Leidheiser, Jr., director of the VISR, and members of his staff. Lectures by the visiting scientists began shortly after the welcoming remarks, and the visitors heard Dr . Williams outline in his address a new method of killing insects. The new method, a result of his latest research, could, he said, "save American farmers hundreds of millions of dollars." The insect, the biologist said, can be per suaded through the use of artificial light in the midst of winter that "spring has arrived." Unable to cope with the winter 's cold, he added, the insect dies- a victim of environmental or "ecological suicide ." He had discovered, he said, that built-in computers in the brains of insects measure the duration of light and bring inse<;ts back to life after their winter hibernation . The computer would not be able to cope with the artificial light treatment , he said . "When the computer tells the insect's hormones to flow, he explained, "there is nothing the computer or the hormones can do then to sitop that flow." The biologist noted that DDT has "lost its effectiveness" because resistant strains of insects are developing. " A most energetic search is under way, he said, "for novel approaches to the control of insect pests. It seems that the insect hormones may have a brand-new role to play."

[10)

The Harvard biologist had given up a consultation with a subcommittee of the President's Scientific Advisory Committee in Washington , D . C., so that he could attend the symposium a:t the University of Richmond. In the audience was the man who had started Dr. Williams on his career as a biologist - Dr . Robert F. Smart, dean of Richmond College. After graduating from the University in 1937 , Dr . Williams attended Harvard and the Harvard Medical School where he received a Ph .D. and an M. D. degree. He is still remembered at the University of Richmond for a butterfly collection that is still or:e of the biology department's prize possess10ns. The scientists were guests of the University at a luncheon in the refectory . Lectures resumed after the luncheon and continued until 4 p.m . when the guests toured the new facilities of VISR. The symposium followed by two weeks the formal dedication of the VISR building, which has been named the Allan Talb ott Gwathmey research laboratory, in honor of the late scientist who was president of the Institute for 15 years. The speaker for the dedication was Dr . Julius A. Stratton, president of Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology, who was enthusiastic in his praise of the Institute. "The small research institute can perform pace-setting science and awaken student interest in scientific careers," he said in his dedicatory address. "We need the big equipment and institutions but the small institutions are a part of our cu,lture and definitely can contribute." The establishment of the scientific research organization on the University campus has been hailed by University President George M. Modlin as "highly gratifying," and by Dr. Leidheiser as "extremely beneficial to the Institute, the University, and the public." "The symposium was a complete success," said Dr. Worsham, who was spokesman for the University scientists in welcoming the VJSR. "Many benefits wi]1l result from having the VISR on the campus," he said, " including the assistance the Institute can give the University 's growing graduate program, special laboratory space for graduate students, and the use of special equipment not owned by the University . "We hope the warm relations between the VISR and the University wi.Jl be a permanent part of campus life," said Dr . Worsham .

Homecoming,1963 November 1 and 2 were brisk, shivery days but hundreds of alumni donned overcoats and gloves to return to the campus for one of the best Homecoming programs in the University's history. University men were treated to a University "first" when they accepted an invitation from Westhampton alumnae to witness a water ballet, the firnt official function of the new Fanny G. Crenshaw swimming pool housed in the new wing of Keller Hall. It was a weekend loaded with activity for the returning graduates, who were treated to a parade, dance and two football games in addition to the ballet. It was a program organized under the able leadership of chairman Ted Adams, Jr., '52. The ballet got off to a splashing start at 8:30 p.m. Friday as some 20 \Xlesthampton students performed a ballet with the theme of "Autumn Leaves." The colored lights and brightly colored costumes made a d~zzling sight as the swimmers executed their movements in the pool. The walls of the pool were decorated with huge red and . gold leaves.

On Saturday morning, alumni football fans got an early look at the pigskin prowess of the Baby Spiders, as the freshmen trounced the East Carolina freshmen 36-6 in a 10:00 a.m . game on Millhiser Field.

( 12)

The cheering grads ringed the field with cups of steaming coffee received at the 9 a.m. registration . On the Westhampton side of the lake, alumnae and friends witnessed the dedication of the Emily Gardner Memor.iai.lRoom in the new Crenshaw swimming pool wing of Keller Haill. Former Virginia governor Colgate W. Darden delivered the dedicatory speech a,t 10: 30 a.m. Graduates from both sides of the lake gathered at Millhiser Gymnasium at noon for a tasty luncheon to prepare them for the afternoon football game. Leaving the campus after the luncheon, they went to City Stadium to witness a pre-game spectacle before the gridiron tilt with VPI. Homecoming queen Gayle Jones led a parade of floats, marching bands and the cadet corps of VPI. The Spider-Gobbler clash was one of the most tightly-fought football battles of the season, with the Techmen squeezing out a 14-13 victory before a roaring crowd. Spider fans were still replaying the game when Homecoming festivies would up with a 9:30 p.m. dance at the John Marshall Hotel.

Spider Basketeers Scare Wildcats

RookieCoach Mills Makes ImpressiveDebut BY WALT DREWRY There's a bright future for University of Richmond basketball for youthful coaches Lewis Mills and Gale Catlett are doing exceptional jobs and have laid a solid foundation for years to come. The Spider varsity, picked by the critics to finish at the bottom in the Southern Conference race, had captured five games ( the Spiders won only seven all last season) and lost nine at the break for examinations. The Richmond freshmen won their first 11 games before suffering a defeat. With only three lettermen, a lack of height and speed and a weak bench ( the squad numbers only nine players), Mills faced a task few rookie varsity cage coaches would tackle. Yet, this scrappy squad holds a pair of upset victories over The Citadel and single triumphs over William and Mary, Florida State and East Carolina. Furthermore, Davidson's fifth ranked Wildcats had all they could handle to prevail, 52-49. Senior Forward John Telepo, co-captain with Buddy Enck, has developed into a fine all-round player. He's third among Southern Conference scorers with an 18.4 average. Junior Tom Tenwick, who teams with Telepo at forward, is averaging 16.1 points and the pair are averaging better than 18 rebounds. Enck (9.6) has developed into a fine playmaker. Sophomore Spike Welsh (9.3) is improving rapidly as is George Atwell, non-lettering 6-8 junior center. Larry Weathers, a junior college transfer, is the

only other man to see much service. After dropping a 77-53 decision to Virginia Tech at Blacksburg, the Spiders upset East Carolina, 71-67, in their home debut. Richmond bowed to Virginia, 91-71, and West Virginia, 79-71, on the road, but Enck ta1lied 20 points as the Spiders upset The Citadel, 77-73, at the Arena. Tenwick missed the second half with a hip injury as George Washington edged the Spiders, 6057, at the Arena. Mills' lads bowed to Ea!>t Tennessee, 83-79, and to Eastern Kentucky, 77-62, on the road but returned to the Arena to upset Fforida State, 69-65. Tenwick and Telepo tallied 22 each as

Richmond edged The Citadel, 67-65, at Charleston but lost to poised Furman, 74-63, at home . Richmond, which never trai~ed, controlled the ball most of the second half and edged rallying William and Mary, 53-52, at the Arena. A standing-room crowd of 4,500 watched in amazement as the Spiders twice rolled up seven-point leads (20-13 and 2821) over unbeaten Davidson. The Wildcats managed to take a 4 7 -44 lead in the second half and then went into a 10:45 freeze. However, a layup by Telepo put Richmond within two points with 49 seconds to go. (Continued

means whereby those in the community who have had no opportunity to pursue systematically a formal liberal arts program beyond their undergraduate work may continue their intellectual development on a sophisticated level. The curriculum is carefully defined, broad and diversified, while allowing some measure of choice to meet the specific interests and needs of the degree candidate. The degree requires neither a thesis nor mastery of a foreign language. It is not designed to prepare students for doctoral work. It is specifically planned to appeal to the college graduate regardless of the orientation of his undergraduate work. It should appeal to adults who are currently engaged in business, education, engineering, government, homemaking, as well as other fields of endeavor. Evening Classes m the Liberal Arts Another feature of University College's offerings are courses in the liberal arts for evening students. These will supplement the current commerce and business classes that have been given in the evenings. The need for these classes in liberal arts was demonstrated last September when two courses were offered and filled to capacity. Students will be able to take more of their degree work in University College as more liberal arts courses are added to the curriculum. For those who graduate from the Junior College the courses in commerce given in the evenings will enable them to complete their requirements for the Bachelor of Commerce in University College. The Management Development Center A unique feature of University College is its new Management Development Center established in 1963 to provide area industry with high quality professional management training and services. Richard S. Underhill, a former vice-president of a firm in Battle Creek, Michigan, was appointed director of the Center. With the support of University College full-time faculty, the Center offers non-college-credit professional courses, conferences, attitude surveys, consultation, and individual development programs. The activities of the Center are financed by membership fees and tuition fees, as well as charges for special services. The nine ten-week conference programs in progress since the Center began its operations is proof enough of the Center's utility to the City's business community . Ever Present Needs The growth and development of University College is in keeping with the changing skyline of Richmond itself, and like downtown Richmond, University College needs a renewal of its facilities. The Columbia building does not meet the needs of a fastgrowing institution. Classrooms, science

laboratories, faculty offices, and library facilities-the core of the college-need to be expanded as rapidly as possible. Few people would question the imperative nature of the services offered and to be offered by the College or Richmond's need for these academic increments. Universities always have crucial needs, and to the University of Richmond and to those in particular whose task it is to make the College a strong branch of the whole University these needs are opportunities and challenges for continued growth. University College will have an exciting and essential role to play in downtown Richmond.

would only be inferred, while they are thus suffered to roll and luxuriate in these gross invectives against the administration, that they are furnishing the joys of a Mahometan paradise to the court as well as to their client. I hope that the court, for their own sakes, will compel a decent respect to that government of which they themselves form a branch. These are the remarks, it seems, which Marshall disliked and which he desired changed in the records. Wirt protested against any meaning unfavorable to the Chief Justice, assured him that he would alter them, then promptly forgot his promise. Twenty years after the event Wirt, in writing to Judge Carr, was certain that he intended no injurious imputations, but immediately after the trial he was ready to consider John Marshall a lost soul. George Hay, United States District Attorney who led the prosecution, wrote to Jefferson on September 1, 1807 , after Marshall, through a narrow definition of treason, had made it impossible to convict Burr. "Wirt, who has hitherto advocated the integrity of the chief justice, now abandons him. This last opinion has opened his eyes, and he speaks in the strongest terms of reprobation." Undoubtedly Marshall was troubled over several of his acts of commission or omission as they would appear in the records of the Burr trial. He approached not on1y Wirt but, with more effect, David Robertson, counsellor at law, who was to publish from his shorthand notes a two-volume account of the proceedings. He and other reporters were told by the Chief Justice, after the delivery of judgment in the case, that a particularly vigorous statement which he had used early in the trial "had no allusion to the conduct of the government in the case before him, but onily meant an elucidation of the general doctrine laid down by Blacks.tone." Robertson soberly incorporated the remark in a footnote. Among the numerous "untoward circumstances" which Wirt believed had prejudiced the Chief Justice against him were the unfavorable comments broadcast by John Wick-

ham and Benjamin Watkins Leigh, prominent conservatives of the Richmond bar and Marsha ll's neighbors and fellow-members of the famous Barbecue Club. Wickham, described by the Irish poet, Thomas Moore, as "the only gentleman I found in America," opposed Wirt in the Burr and other trials. Leigh, whose second wife was Marshall's niece and whose third was Wickham's daughter, ran counter to Wirt in less famous lawsuits. These intimates of the Chief Justice were more convinced of Wirt' s eloquence than of his learning. At the national capital, to which he repaired after his appointment as Attorney General in 1817, Wirt thought he saw new unfriendly critics in the New Englanders, Daniel Webster and Justice Joseph Story. According to Wirt, these "bosom friends" of the Chief Justice "have no great love for me." The Attorney General's suspicion of Story's ill will-Story was the learned Supreme Court Judge whom Marshall particularly esteemed-may be credited ninetenths to imagination. Wirfs skepticism as to Webster, his rival, before the courts, is more readily accepted. The Attorney General's brilliant and repeated triumphs in litigation might well have irritated Webster, a man of alpine ambitions, but one suspects that Wirt himseilf was not entirely free from jealousy. For it was Webster who shone with rare brilliance in Dartmouth College v. Woodward, when Wirt unluckily made his worst prepared and least convincing appearance before John Marshall. Incidentally , both Wickham and Leigh appear to have witnessed Wirt's inauspicious performance. And in Gibbons v. Ogden, a case which saw the two men as joint attorneys, Webster's opinion, not his, was closely followed by Marshall when giving the decision. "It was an accident, I think," remarked Webster when pondering the neglect accorded Wirt's presentation. Wirt probably thought otherwise. In his letter to Judge Carr, Wirt's reference to Marshall's lack of imagination and his own "pretty strong seasoning, perhaps an overseasoning of it" underscores tl:i.eobservation in the Spy, made twenty-£.qti.i'years earlier: "As to fancy, if she hold · i seat in his [Marshall's] mind at all, which I very much doubt, his gigantic genius tramples with disdain, on all her flower-decked plats and blooming parterres." Wirt would have been the first to admit that his own love of prismatic effects had troubled him, but the eloquent lawyer resented the scornful label, "whip syllabub genius," which, he complained, had been appilied to him a thousand times in Marshall's presence. Between the writing of the document under discussion and Wirt's death, less than seven years later, Marshall and Wirt, while never intimate, were drawn together largely through their common distrust of one man, Andrew Jackson. Wirt made one embarrass•ing faux pas, however, in the year 1830, (C ontinued

uco for Broke" Chaplain, Cook, Minister, Musician

That's Gene West Clergyman, mus1C1an, teacher and world traveler- that's Dr . Thomas Eugene West , '27.

He returned January 18 from his latest journey, a World Mission tour with 25 other Ameri can Baptists. The two month tour began on December 2, when the travelers left New York for East Berlin, making the trip by jet on the same day. They attended Moscow Central Baptist Church on December 8, and reached New Delhi , India the next day. Before Dr. West reached Winthrop Mass. and home base, he also had visited Cakutta , Rangoon , Bangkok, Hong Kong , Manila, Tokyo , and Honolulu . But this dedicated man -is even more than a world traveler , musician, clergyman and teacher. He 's also been a phys ical fitness devotee and a cook of some note. During World War II he was chaplain for the 442nd Combat Team of the famed Japanes eAmerican "Go for Broke " unit in Italy . Dr . West's new pastorate is at First Baptist Church in Winthrop , Mass. He took on this assignment after he received the degree of Master of Music from the Santa Cecilia Conservatory of Music and the Arts in Italy. Along with the degree he received a citation of Doctor of Cultural Arts from the conservatory, where he has studied intermittently since 193 7. As a clergyman, the Surry County, Va., native has held pastorates in Front Royal and Charlottesville in Virginia, Williamsburg in Kentucky, Marion, N.C., the Dudley Street Church in Boston and Grace Baptist Church in Somerville, Mass. While in Williamsburg he was president of the Kentucky State Baptist Assembly for two years. He also spent one year as visiting pastor of Immanuel Baptist Church in Rangoon , Burma. As a musician, he has written carols, hymns, poems, pageants and religious dramas and has served on the executive committee of the National Federation of Music Clubs. Dr . West's work as a church soloist and in light concerts helped pay his college and seminary expenses. He took his first piano lesson in 1910 and has since studied in Richmond, Louisville, Cincinnati, New York, Boston, London, Milano , Rome and Firenze . As a teacher, he has served such institutions as Randolph-Ma con College (public speaking , freshman English and glee club director), Cumberland College in Kentuck y (Bible , voice and piano), the University of Shanghai in China ( sociology and psychology), and Judson College in Burma (Bible and music). As a world traveler , he has visited 52 countries. These visits have enabled him to work with people of every race and to study the influences all major religions of the world have on people.

Italy is one of his favorite foreign countries. There he studied music over the years and there he served with the JapaneseAmerican Nisei combat team in World War II. Dr. West has a special pride in these men. Although they suffered heavily, they never gave up an inch of ground, they never had a case of AWOL and they won many combat decorations. Once at his Boston church he was telling about the Nisei troops and ended his com-

ments with the statement that not one had ever gone AWOL. One of his listeners told Dr. West he was wrong "about that AWOL business," and that he was in a position to know. "We ll," Dr. West said with his customary mildness, "I am always willing to be enlightened ." The listener then replied , "One of your men was in the hospital with me. He had been wounded. H e went AWOL from the hospital to get back to his outfit in the front lines ." Dr. West has long been an advocate of physical fitness. A favorite activity is a long walk in the morning. And unless the weather is too severe, he's likely to be found taking a swim during his leisure time. The world travels stimulated his interest in cooking. His specialties today are foreign dishes. Dr. West has been married twice. His fi7st wife, Miss Alma Clayton of Ashland, died shortly afte r their marriage in 1933. In 1948, he married the former Gene Newton We~thampton, '34, of Richmond, who wa~ then on the staff of the Baptist Foreign Mission Board. Since the Wests moved to Winthrop, she has continued to serve as secretary to the executive secretary of the Massachusetts Baptist State Convention.

NEW RUBIN BOOK ON SOUTHERN AUTHORS The effect of the South on modern Southern writers is the subject of a new book by Louis D. Rubin, Jr., '46, chairman of the English department at Hollins College.

Among the authors discussed are George Washington Cable, William Faulkner, Robert Penn Warren, Thomas Wolfe, Eudora Welty, the fugitive poets Donald Davidson, Allen Tate, John Crowe Ransom, and a promising younger writer, William Styron .

Rubin shows that each fled to the metropolis, then left it in dismay, only to find that the South he remembered no longer existed. Each attempted to create a country of the mind. In his examination of this faraway country, Rubin discovers truths about the South and the writers themselves. Professor Rubin has written and edited eight other books about the South, including a novel, "The Golden Weather."

A Biography HDR.SPARKS": A great human being is the portrait so skillfully and sympathetically etched of Sparks W. Melton by William L. Lumpkin. The felicitously chosen title of this biography is "Doctor Sparks," for so he was affectionately known by the people of Norfolk, which was his home for forty-nine years and by the congregation of The Freemason Street Baptist Church to which he ministered for forty-four years. From the day he entered Richmond College as a student and through all succeeding years he was a steadfast friend of The University of Richmond. Many and enriching were the contributions he made to students and faculty. As preacher at Religious Emphasis Week , as speaker on Commencement occasions, as trustee , as generous supporter of our Enlargement Program, as encourager of the young men and young women in his chur ch to study at The University, as orator at our Centennial Cele-

bration and as a regular partiopant in our annual Pastors ' Conference, he welcomed every opportunity to witness to his love and loyalty. On our shelves are books from his library. Dr. William Lumkin, alumnus , noteworthy historian and now pastor of the church which Dr. Melton served has recorded the biographical facts of Dr. Melton's distinguished career, from his birth in Fluvannia County to his death in Norfolk , and he has done more. He has recaptured the fragrance of a winsome and radiant personality and has given an exhibit of how rich and fine a life can be when utterly dedicated to the cause of Christ and for all the people for whom He so greatly cared. A great human being was "Doctor Sparks," a "spiritually-mind ed man of the world." So we meet him in this entrancing biography. - Solon B. Cousins

The Wisdom of the Past

"NO MAN IS FREE WHO IS NOT MASTER OF HIMSELF." EPICTETUS

Too many of us-complaining

of the erosion of individual liberties and the tightening controls of governmenthave overlooked or forgotten this simple philosophy. Yet it is as true today in 20th Century America as it was 2,000 years ago in ancient Greece. To remain free, we must be willing to face individual responsibility. To accept self discipline as the only true discipline. To defend -consciously and constantly-the liberties we cherish. This was the philosophy that guided our founding fathers. Men such as Washington and Jefferson dedicated their lives to creating a nation in which all men could be masters of themselves. Answerable above all to their own consciences. Served by their government-and not its servants. Their legacy to us was individual freedom. If today it seems in jeopardy, let us remember: No man is free who is not master of himself.

Westhampton News 1919 Secretary MRS. WEBSTER J. CARPENTER (Juliette Brown) 1001 Gates Ave. Norfolk, Virginia 1963 was a very good year, with many pleasant contacts, visits from and with friends, and our usual five months spent at Virginia B~ach . Our greatest anxiety was the illness of our sonin-law, Dr. Henry, in Barnesville, Ga. He was stricken witli hepatitis in mid-April, and plans to resume his practice with the New Year. We are indeed grateful for his recovery. We had a week's visit with them in mid-September, and Webster and I plan to spend a week with them at Christmas. The Christmas morning excitement is terrific with the nine young ones! But we love it! A nice letter from Virginia Mayes in D ecember told us she was in the midst of getting her house closed for the winter. They will be leaving shortly for their winter retreat in Florida . Quoting from Virginia's letter: "I would like to nominate Virginia Jones Snead as the member of the class of 1919 who has done the most for her community since Her record is an outleaving Westhampton. standing one over the years, climaxed in 1963 the restoration of the by two things-First, old jail and the establishment of a mus~um for historical material including county documents. Her second project is a bo:lk entitled, "Fluvanna County Sketchbook"-1777-1963-sponsored by th~ Fluvanna Civil War Commission, 1861-65.

Let's Celebrate Westhampton's 50th Birthday The year 1964 is a golden one for Westhampton; our Alma Mater will celebrate her fiftieth birthday. Under the chairmanship of Margaret Leake, '31, committees are at work making plans for the observance that will honor the college's half-century of achievements in the field of higher education for women. The calendar of events begins in January when invitations will be extended to alumnae and some 1,500 Richmond friends of the college to attend special campus concerts, recitals, plays, lectures and convocations during the winter and spring months. Elsie Dickinson, '40, is in charge of the guest mailing. Climax of the celebration will come June fifth and sixth on Alumnae Weekend with Jean Dickinson, '4 1, as chairman. The schedule calls for a symposium planned by Miss Marguerite Roberts , a reception with Celeste O'Flaherty, ' 15, in charge, and a banquet featuring as speaker, a woman of national prominence. Many noteworthy projects are also on the anniversary agenda. A research analysis of the files wilJl soon be under way to tabulate a statistical report of Westhampton 's 3,500 alumnae and their accomplishments. For posterity it is important that each alumna bring her record up to date on a card that will be included in a winter mailing. Another committee, headed by Mary Freeman, '35, will provide ballots for each of you to submit your recommendations for outstanding ailumnae. Tho se who are chosen as the most distinguished will receive special recognition during the June festivities. Assistance is also needed for an exhibit, to be displayed in the University Library, of

works published by Westhampton daughters. Alumnae authors, or persons having information about their work, are asked to notify Josephine Nunnally, ' 31, c/o University of Richmond Library, giving author, title, and pertinent data. Other highlights will include a tour on April 21, during Virginia's traditional Garden Week, of the court and the Willie Gray Shepherd Memorial Garden. Hannah Coker, '23, and Evelyn Robert , '27, are cochairmen of this event. Station WRVA has offered time for six We sthampton programs which will be televised in the Richmond viewing area under th e direction of Mary Ann Franklin, '35. The Richmond Club's president Katherine Hesby, '22, has announced that members of the first class will be guests of honor at the annual spring luncheon. Just to be certain that the first fifty years will be preserved for the future, Leslie Booker, '22, is interested in old pictures and dippings for the archives. All former students are encouraged to rememb er this as they dean out drawers and souvenirs. The chairman urges each alumna to watch forthcoming mailings for further announcements, to be prompt in sending in requested information, and to plan to return to the campus during the birthday celebration. Committee members , in addition to those mentioned above, are: Elizabeth Gaines, '19, Jeffries Heinrich , '20, Elaine Johnson, '64, Frances Stallard, '28, Elizabeth Tompkins , '19, Josephine Tucker, '23, Jean Martin, '50, Mary Grace Taylor, '42, Miss Fannie G.

She wrote that her life seems rather uneventful to her, but I am somewhat dubious of the uneventfulness because she spends her days practicing psychiatric and medical social work in a general hospital, and her week-ends and vacations in travelling around the country with her mother and her chihuahua, "Tiny Too." She is the Director of Family Counseling Service, Beckley, West Hospital, Beckley Memorial Virginia, and specializes in working with emotionally upset children. News from Margaret Isbell Vaughan tells us that she is teaching geometry and algebra at Hermitage High School and is using the modern mathematic approach. (After hearing a discussion of it at our A.A.U.W. meeting the other night, I'm glad I studied math thirty years ago.) Husband Meredith is with the Jones Bros. Equipment Co. in Montpelier. Margaret spends any time left after home and school responsibilities in carrying out her many church-related duties. 1938 Secretary MRS. VIRGINIAHLADYS (Virginia 4010 Hermitage Road Richmond, Virginia

Ellis)

Bagwell's oldest son, Barbara Dejarnette George, was abroad last summer in Frankfurt. The family flew to meet him in Madrid, then drove through Spain, France, Switzerland and Germany. He returned to Hampden-Sydney in September. Barbara has three other children at home who make chauffeuring her chief occupation . This is in addition to the numerous church and civic positions she holds. Augusta Straus Goodman has a son, Robert, Jr., in his senior year at Dartmouth College and Lynn is in his sophomore year at Connecticut College. Augusta has a son and daughter at home. Her newest effort is the establishment of a branch office of the Volunteer Service Bureau in Virginia Beach, her home.

Sallie Haden West has two daughters. She is doing part-time editorial assistant's work at the Presbyterian Board of Christian Education. Henrietta Harrell Smith has a son, Jimmy, who is a sophomore at William and Mary College, and a married daughter, Mrs. R. H. Robi!1· son. Hennie also has a daughter, Carolyn, m high school. Kenny is in junior high this year. Millie Harrell Clinkscales is teaching American History at Granby High School in Norfolk. Her son, Lee Earl, age twelve, and daughter, Joyce Mildred, age fourteen, both received superior ratings in the National Auditions in music.

C., came to town to visit relatives and friends: Liz Shaw Burchill, Lula Goode Winfree, Mildred Lewis Massengill and Virginia Britt Austin, '39. Four members of our class attended the Homecoming dinner this year: Henrietta Harrell Smith, Ann Walker, Liz Wheeler and Liz Shaw Burchill. 1939 Secretary

MRS. KENNETHD. ANGUS,JR. (Evelyn Hazard) 1512 Wilmington Ave. Richmond, Virginia Several of our class were at the homecoming dinner. Those who attended were Anne Eppes Regester, Lois Lyle Mercer, Elizabeth Mitchell Driscoll and Scotty Campbell Jacobs. There is news of several of our children who are in college. Jackie Faulkner Dixon's son is a student at the University of Richmond. Marian Wiley Ellett's son, David, is a sophomore at Davidson College. Scotty Jacobs' son, Mac, was one of six juniors elected to the Raven Society at the University of Virginia. Anne and Conway Regester had a nice summer trip through the Smoky Mountains. Pat Walford was another of our number who enjoyed mountain scenery last summer. She attended a librarian's convention in Denver, Colorado and then took a trip through the Rocky Mountains. Elizabeth Burch Fowlkes' daughter, Lyle, was married .to Russell Brian Lewis on September 7 at the Annandale Methodist Church. There is a little news from our house this time. Ken and I had an enjoyable trip to New Yark in October. Ken attended an American

Management Association Seminar while we were there. I am doing some substitute teaching at St. Catherine 's school and am taking some classes in the "new" math this fall. 1940 Secretary MRS. E. FRANKLINMALLORY (Emma Lou Parsons) 6406 Monument Ave. Richmond, Va. 23226 Connie Attkisson Holloway has served us faithfully and well for several years, and we owe her our sincere thanks. I shall do my best, but I'm learning that you "out-of-towners" must let us hear from you. I don't want to be just a Richmond secretary. You don't have to have climbed the Matterhorn or planted a flag on the moon. The simple items such as are in this letter are what we want to hear from you. We have one more known college freshman to report. Jane Davenport Reid's son, Kendall, is attending Randolph-Macon College at Ashland and has pledged Kappa Alpha fraternity. Evelyn Smoak Lewter's oldest daughter is Marilyn, age 16, gives quite enterprising. private horseback riding lessons in the afternoons and on Saturdays. Myra Anne Gregory Crump keeps very busy as head of the English department at Thomas Dale High School. In addition, she is Senior Class sponsor and works with the cheer leaders. She is bravely teaching an adult Sunday School class, too . Myra Anne had a nice visit with Annabel Lumpkin Hessel, who is living in Virginia Beach, Va. Lucy Baird urges us all to try the new swimming pool which is open to Alumnae. She has tried it and recommends it highly. Lucy spent a long weekend in Washington, D. C. recently, enjoying the art galleries, the Senate, etc. and attended services at the National Cathedral. Madeline Cosby has returned to Richmond to live after working in Washington for the Commerce Department for 17 years. She is in business here with her sister and brother and lives at 3041 Darnley Drive, Richmond. Pauline Cortopassi seems to think it's best to keep on learning. She's holding down two secretarial positions and one of them involves learning to be a legal secretary. Marian Sibley Parham is resting after serving a two-year term as P-TA president at Stuart Elementary School. Mabel Leigh Rooke is back in Richmond, too, and her modesty precludes my listing her activities and accomplishments. She is now an associate professor at Medical College of Virginia anq lives with her father at 5911 Fitzhugh Ave. I have just heard, through Connie, of Mildred Gustafson Donohue's 26-day trip around the world.

1941 Secretary MRS. R. STUARTGRIZZARD (Barbara Eckles) 2329 Farrand Drive Richmond, Va. Well, we're doing better! Several of those whom I asked to help amass news have beautifully responded, with the result that more people are included in this issue than would have been possible otherwise. Evelyn Cosby wrote of her vacation trip via Trailways Bus co Los Angeles, California, seeing some of the country en route and visiting her brother Hugh and his family in Harbor City. While there she did a great deal of sightseeing, and even went down the Pacific Highway to Tijuana, Mexico, stopping over in Laguna Beach, Carlsbad and San Diego. Meeting many interesting people was another joy of Evelyn's journey. In addition co carrying on her job as an accounting technician for Finance and Accounts Office of the U. S. Army, Evelyn has been taking classes in china painting; she was also elected treasurer of the Colonial Chapter of the American Business Women's Association in September, and so is really busy. Naomi Lewis Policoff continues with her oil painting. She has a "one man" show of ten of her paintings at one of the banks in Albany. She also had two paintings hung recently at the Institute of History and Art, and one of them was sold! Naomi reports a wonderful Thanksgiving, especially since their 19-year-old Sue was home from Syracuse University, where she is a sophomore. The Policoffs went there for Parents' Weekend in November. Their son is 15½, in fourth form (second year high) at Albany Academy for Boys, a school similar co St. Chriscophers in Richmond, where this year Naomi's dad, Mr. George Lewis, is teaching chemistry. Husband Leonard is now a full professor "with a huge department" (physical medicine) in the Albany Hospital. He teaches medical students, and sometimes relaxes as a ham radio operator. Dotty Hewes McGliney writes "My life changed last September when I became a Girl Scout leader (isn't that a riot? I was never a GS or even a Campfire girl!) .... I do feel that the work is rewarding even if time-consuming. The program is tremendous and I think if a girl earnestly follows through she will be a very well-rounded, capable and Christian young lady. "Our 'baby' is 9-Dorothy Ann (the reason for my being a leader." The boys are Steve, almost 17, and Rob, 14. Steve "wrestles and has all kinds of body-building equipment here at the house. This place is like a 'Health Club,' including a punching bag that makes the whole house vibrate .... We did have a two-car garage which was converted into a pool room last year .... Rob plays clarinet in the band and orchestra at school and has a paper route."

Dotty is a commun;ty Republican Committee Woman. "It is lots of work, but policies at the 'Grass Roots' level is fascinating and so interesting. It, coo, is a 'time stealer.' ... Husband Bill is charming as always and is so calm at all times. He keeps me 'coned down.' " Mary Buxton Smith phoned co cell me bits of news. Anne Boehling Bowles' family, which includes two daughters, embarked recently on a northern trip. Helen Hill has changed jobs of late and is now out of town part of the time. Mary provided violin music for the September luncheon of the Richmond Area Baptist Ministers' Wives' Club, over which I preside this year. She was involved in December with the Christmas cantata and currently with the cabin she and Virgil are building on Whiting Creek, off the Rappahannock River. "Itz" Holden Slipek told me of the drnch of Sarajane Payne Arkedis' father. All of us join in sending her our loving and sympathetic thoughts. Virginia "Teensy" Garrett Buckler's new address is 1452 Silvius Avrnue, San Pedro, California. Miss Rivenburg is due our commiseration over the breaking of her leg, and our commendation for not being long slowed down by same! She went co Greece and much of Europe recently; according to our Patricia, she entertains her classes with anecdotes. On crutches for the first month of school, she never stopped smiling. I saw Ada Land in Miller and Rhoads' arc needlework department in late October with her mother. She looked fine, seemed energetic and busy. Helen Dodd Driscoll had charge of publicity for American Education Week in Richmond, contacting radio, TV, ministers, banks, libraries, stores, et cetera. The theme was "Education strengthens the Nacion." At the Homecoming dinner our round cable included Henrietta Sadler Kinman (I met her Guy the following day and was impressed!), Ann Phillips Bonifant, Jean Neasmith Dickinson, Mayme O'Flahercy Scone and me. After a delectable dinner we were present at a longawaited occasion, when there was a worthy demonstration in our new swimming pool. During the Saturday festivities I chatted with Mary Owen Bass and with Anna Marie Rue Stringfellow. All these occasions mean an increasing amount to us as our children are also involved, now in their second year. Patricia was in the Homecoming Parade with others from the campus radio station, WCRC. She has her own program every Thursday afternoon! Both she and Bob insist they can spot a freshman by the way he walks downstairs or opens a door. ... This year they're caking subjects they really like better; he continues to be on the Dean's List, and we continue to rejoice that they can attend "our college" and still be with us at home . I really want co know about YOU-and so

Wendling)

Louise and Bob Moser's Tommy is a freshman at RP.I. this year. His field will be Music Education with a voice major and a minor in piano or organ. Who says talent doesn't rub off on the youngsters? Jean Grant Andrews is justly proud of Richard. He's a senior at Landon School in Bethesda, editor of the year book, manager of the football team, and a semi-finalist in the National Merit Scholarships. He has been accepted for entrance to Brown University, Providence, R. I. Jean's husband, Justin, is a Brown graduatebee he's pleased! Noony Calisch Rothenberg says chat Bill is not the only wage earner in their family. Both she and son, Paul, 17, took part-time jobs selling during the Christmas rush. Martha, 14, was the keeper of the home fires. Things got co such a state chat they passed each ocher at the entryway and exchanged pleasantries. All of the above was in addition to Noony's regular job on week-ends as supervisor of the high school department of their Sunday School. Kay Crutchfield's Pam is hoping co attend Mary Washington next fall. Wanda, a junior this year, has been elected to the National Honor Society. The commissioning of the U.S.S. Dale, Bob's Guided Missile Frigate, was held on November 23rd. You will recall that only absolute duties were done during that dark day. Although no receptions were held, they did have a fine time aboard the ship at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. Many of their old friends were there, among them Kay Weber McLellan and her husband, Jack. Kay looked wonderful in black with gold trim, and she had Pam and Wanda looking like glamour girls. Yes, 5-year-old Renn mas there, coo, following Navy procedures just as you'd expect. Let's have more news now for next time. If you don't I shall write a page on our winter holiday on Sc. Croix, Virgin Islands. It's a promise! 1943 Secretary MRs. ROBERTS. BLACK (Althea Johnston) 4101 Pawnee Rd. Richmond, Va. Those of you who are wamng for the scrapbook-it's on the way. Be patient and you will get it ev€ntually. Fay Carpenter Kirchman wrote, "We moved about reunion time but what with all the mess of moving, a trip to Europe for my husband, getting various ones to and from summer camp, several infections, getting settled in school, and a hernia operation for the 3½ year old, it has taken me over three months co change my address. . . . About Thanksgiving we hope co be settled on our five acre patch of Howard County." Georgie Simpson writes from California, "I have been very busy getting settled in my new job and new apartment. On the job I have charge of the clinical bacteriology, mycology, parasitology, and endocrinology laboratories serving a 700-bed hospital and clinics on naval bases throughout this bay area. In the apartment I have the standard for a two-bedroom arrangement using one bedroom as a study. Bue I have a studio couch in the study, so altogether I can sleep six if some of chem are compatible. If anyone is visiting in the San Francisco area, the latch string is always out.'' Georgie visited Ilse Schott Barnhart in Palo Alco and this is a resume of her activities since we lase heard from her. "After spending five years in Massachusetts and longing for Cali-

fornia all that time, I finally pulled up stakes, hitched my house trailer to my car, and took off. After three long weeks on the road, I finally arrived in California and took a job with Stanford Research Institute preparing for condevelopment industrial an international ference. This took place in San Francisco where we spent a week working and interpreting for industrialists gathered from all over the world. "Shortly thereafter Bill Barnhart and I were married. Bill had just bought a house and moved in with three bachelor friends. When we I moved in and no one were married, moved out! Then little John moved in and still no one moved out. We had a gay and busy household for several years until one by one the bachelors succumbed and married. We still have a gay and busy house with much musical activity going on, which is our main hobby. Bill conducts a recorder orchestra once a week. I am learning to play viola da gamba and play with the orchestra. Also we sing in the choir in church and with a madrigal group . I am secretary of our local homeowners association and am interested in local city government. John so P-TA will has just started kindergarten, claim me soon." I think .I failed to mention previously that Shorty Nuchols Claytor has moved to Hagerstown, Md. Clay has made a good recovery from the automobile accident which laid him up for almost a year. Please keep the news coming! 1944 Secretary MRS. WILLIAM B. GRAHAM (Mary Alderson) 8015 Maple Lane Richmond 29, Va. I had one letter in answer to my plea to let me hear from you out of town people. Gene Sheppard Keever wrote on Halloween night while she .was sitting by with the "trick or treats." She · has had a nice letter from Kay Hanley Wery saying she was fine and usually quite busy with her job. Kay's mother had a serious operation and Kay was taking time off to nurse her. Gene sees Marty Mercer Oast frequently since Marty's Marty and Gene's Mac are in the same class at school. Dot Monroe Hill is still President of the Methodist Society at Monumental Women's Church in Portsmouth. That's practically a fulltime job along with her routine taxi service. Fleet, her oldest girl, was in the Homecoming Court at Churchland High School last fall. The Keevers had a nice trip to New York last summer. They spent a night with Betty Muller Goldsmith and her family in Chappaqua, N . Y. Gene says "We really had fun. Their children Kate, 10, Elizabeth, 8, and John, 5 and ours all got along famously as did husbands. We had a cook-out and after the young-uns were in bed we four had quite a good evening of talk. Buttsie and I got the men to bed about 1 a.m. and about two hours later she and I gave up on our talk! They vow and declare Westhampton they'll be down for the reunion." Gene says she only sees Gloria Tyler Robertson in passing. Gloria and Clayton are boating enthusiasts and spend a lot of time on that. I hope you ate all making plans to come to our 20th Reunion in June. We should certainly try to make this a big one. You 'll be hearing more about this shortly. In the meantime, please somebody send me some news! You may have this job next, you know! 1945 Secretary MRS. CLARK HUBER (Margaret Dudley Clark) 6000 Howard Road Richmond, Virginia

I received a Christmas card from Doris Mills Harrel from Germany where she and Louis are stationed and they like it a lot. They have a new son, John. Some day when I get to Europe, I might just take them up on the invitation to visit. I have a very nice post card from Miss Lutz addressed to our class. Miss Lutz has now moved to an apartment at 5706 York Road. She extends Christmas greetings and is looking forward to Westhampton's Fiftieth Anniversary in June and hopes to see us there . (I hope we have a good turn-out, too.) Connie Sutton sent me a post card from New York City where she spent a great vacation this summer. Lottie Blanton Appelwhite writes us from Ashland, Oregon. She and Warren have settled in what sounds like a fascinating town. After a summer of study (they are now retired from the Army) Lottie and Warren were to be teaching at the University of Oregon. Her Westhampton credits impressed the University of Oregon when she turned them in with those from Pennsylvania and Illinois. Lottie says the Shakespeare group in Ashland is the best she has ever seen, including Stratford-on-Avon. They have a picturesque festival with bag pipers in Lithia Park which is in the shadow of Mt. Shasta. At present I am working for Manpower, Inc. which finds you many interesting temporary aroundjobs. It's a little confusing-hopping but it's a great way to learn all about your home town, and the jobs they find for you are always interesting. My very good piece of news is that the Teen Aged Girls' Home for which Children's aid and the U.G.F. have worked so long and hard is now a very nice reality, and we have hopes that from its small beginning it will continue to grow. 1946 Secretary MRS. EDWARDSCHMIDT,JR. (Elizabeth Thompson) 4545 Stratford Rd. Richmond, Va.

both boys (Billy, nine, and Mark, seven) growing brown as berries. Joyce Todd had camped with her family in the Smokies this summer. She wrote that Betsy Matthews Henkle has moved to 206 N. Vine Street, Richmond. Her three children are now boy and thirteen, twelve and eight years-girl, girl! Betsy is working for the Medical College of Virginia in radiation therapy in the isotope lab in the basement of the E. G. Williams Hospital. Frances Carter Bleight Elliott and Joanne Pebworth Gammon were in Richmond this summer. Frances, husband, Dick, and their two little girls still live in Pottsdam, New York. Mary Tuck Echols has been in Richmond awaiting completion of a new house in Annapolis, Maryland from which Jim will commute to Washington, D. C. Mary and Jim have been living in Milan, Italy. We'd like to know more of the details of Jim's work and their life abroad. Also of great interest to you all will be Ellen Hodges Proxmire's book to be published in January. I have before me a clipping from the Richmond News Leader running a picture of Ellen and her Senator husband, William Proxmire (D., Wisconsin) accompanied by an interview with Ellen. The book entitled "One Foot in Washington " (Robert Luce) is about the life of a Senator's wife and family . The article concludes with a quote "Glamor is not the word for politics, but frustrating-demandingexhausting or rewarding-stimulating-satisfying, depending on what people starting into the bowl (goldfish bowl in which all politicians live) are saying or doing at the moment." Whatever the current tide of opinions or events I am sure Ellen is more than capable of coping! I am writing this from Stuart Circle Hospital where our newest little Christmas angel came to us December 5. A dainty mite, Martha Hollace (to be known as Holly) weighed ol'lly five pounds, fourteen ounces, so she is really a live doll baby for Lee, Frank and Kathy who are twelve, ten and eight. 1947 Secretary

I know you missed the news in the fall issue . shall try to do better hereafter! At that time I had a letter from Joyce Eubank Todd with cards from some of the on summer vacations. Faye girls reporting Clarke Randle had jet-flown from her home in Bucklin, Kansas to Chicago with husband, Jack, to a medical meeting. The usual Little League baseball, swimming, piano lessons and saxophone lessons for Diane and Clarke, plus keeping up with two-year-old Craig, occupy her full time. A card from Lois Bradley Baker told of a family camping trip to Niagara Falls and Thousand Islands. Ann Ware Fry says North Carolina is their favorite vacation spot-Cape Hatteras last year and the Great Smokies this past summer . The remainder of the summer was spent at their Rappahannock River cottage with

MRS. JoHN C. HORIGAN(Mildred Daffron) 4636 Stuart Ave. Richmond, Va. We had an exceptionally large number from our class at the W.C. Homecoming on Nov . 2. turkey dinner and We enjoyed a delightful then a remarkably good water ballet performed in the new pool. Those attending were Betty Tinsley Andrews, Izzy Ammerman Allin, Virginia Ellet, Nancy Richardson Elliott, Helen Bev Patton Browne, Jean Cole Richardson, Waldrop, Lois Rynaldo, Marion Collier Miller, and myself. Susie Guard Woody told me that during the past summer she and C. L. took the children to Va. Beach. On the was she stopped to see Martha Edwards Allen and she saw the 'two

Higgie also said that she and Dan had taken a trip to Cincinnati in October and enjoyed the lovely fall scenery so much. Betsy Slate Riley and Buddy welcomed a new addition to their family this past year. This makes five for Betsy and to the best of my knowledge she is the only one in our class with five children . Congratulations to you, Betsy . Jane Harp Davis who was with us for two years, lives in Luray, Va ., and has three girls and one little boy. 1948 Secretary

MRS. JARVISENNIS (Doris Moore) 1772 Old Buckroe Road Hampton, Virginia Some of last summer's news is just reaching me. Flip Orrell Dunn took a course in the new mathematics at University of Virginia . At present she is teaching language arts in Fredericksburg. They have bought the home in which they were living and it pleases Flip to feel that they have put down roots once again . Arlene Reynolds Schaefer and Joe got to OCS graduation at Camp Pendleton this summer. Arlene is active in a garden club again this year. Renie Barbour Fenlon and Pat passed through Rich mond in August with their four children. They still love Georgia. In August Suzanne Lovern Peeler happened upon Jackie Jeter at the Greenbrier Hotel at White Sulphur Springs. Jackie was on business arranging for the Governor's Conference which was held soon afterwards. Her job is one of great responsib ility, private secretary to Governor Barron of West Virginia! The fall found other class members traveling. Alice Goodman went to Montreat, N . C. to a Southern Region Christian Endeavor Meeting and took four of her group from church. The turning leaves in Luray caught the Cunning hams' eyes. Jean Brumsey Biscoe and Johnny went to Parent's Day at Woodberry Forest. Millicent Hutcherson Taylor's family and mine have had several visits together since reunion . They visited Hampton, we got up to Washington , and we met for a brief chat during the VEA convention in Richmond . Millicent is enjoying her first winter with both

Compliments of

children in school. I have my hands full this year as Director of Guidance in a newly opened high school in Hampton. Homecoming week-end found some of our number together. Jean Brumsey Biscoe, Mary Cross Marshall, and Margaret Sabine Brizendine went to the dinner at Westhampton. At the Homecoming Game Sarah Bishop Wilbourne saw Sugar Carlton Bowman. Wade, Sugar's fourteen-year-old boy, is taller than his mother. Virginia Herndon Pugh and Alger welcomed the arrival of a baby girl, Elizabeth Alger, December 1. Alger has enjoyed a most successful stay in Staunton . His team at Lee High has won the District Championship all three years he has been there. Pat Adams Woodhead enjoyed a November trip to New York at the time of the National Horse Show . Bob worked the show and joined her and Shawn at night. This job isn't bad, but it is the problem of having to guess at what you are doing that bogs me down. How about a line to relieve much of my anxiety. 1949 Secretary

MRS. WM. K. BARKER (Barbara Rhodes) 1700 Chadwick Drive Richmond, Virginia The time is drawing near when all of you will be thinking seriously about returning to Richmond for our 15th class reunion. Those of us in Richmond will be getting together in January to make some definite plans, and you will be hearing all the details from us very soon. Martha Hall reports that she is "still in the business world" and finds it more fascinating each week. She and Peggy Harris Barnett went to New York for a week of "Spring buying."

Gevie Nager Windle's eldest, Jon, now 11 has won a scholarship to Saint Andrew's Episcopal School in Boca Raton. After much deliberation they finally let him go. Her Lisa, age 10, has now reached that "I'd rather do it myself, Mother" stage, so Gevie has applied for a substitute teacher's certificate. If she likes the work she plans to get her 20 hours in education at Florida Atlantic next winter . In the meantime she is picking up all the free-lance legal secretarial work she can, taking bridge lessons and even finding extra time for the Junior League. I have two babies to report this time .

Disneyland. They feel at home in Ft. Bragg since it is the third time in ten years they've been there. Joyce Bell Cody had a letter from Diz telling her about Ethiopia. "The scenery and climate around Addis are both quite acceptable. They range, as does everything in this country, from the sublime to the ridiculous, but are all interesting in one way or another. From one spot in the city you look out over a thick layer of foilage toward the plains which are terminated b)' varying sized hills and mountains, all on the horizon. This will be capped with a sky partially filled with billowing white and gray clouds, piling up in fantastic designs. Five minutes walk from this spot you will be able to see only poor, shabby mud "Tucals" (native huts) with no obvious horizon, only the feeling of very flat, drab land and either a completely leaden, solid gray sky else an unrelieved, cloudless blue one. Storms can be sudden and violent, although this is now the end of the rainy season, so they are becoming infrequent. The high altitude, however stops it from becoming sticky and humid. It is only hot in the direct sunlight. The nights are always cool, sometimes cold." Diz also says it has been a chore to prepare lectures and get the course going since she has never taught before, but it is getting easier. Her address: Dept. of Geology, Univ. College of Addis Ababa, P. 0. Box 399, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Claire Carlton went to NYC with a friend for a week in November and stayed at the Savoy Hilton.

Their oldest son, Steve, is in kindergarten and loves it. He is doing very well and she and Bill are delighted with the school. He also has German once a week. Numerous and varied activities revolving around her life as the wife of a university professor and mother of two small, "l ively" young

men occupy Harriet Willingham Johnson 's time in Minneapolis, among the activities being her chairmanship of their League of Women Voters unit this year. Both Harriett Johnsons (Willingham and Stubbs) were so pleased to get to spend a few hours visiting with Dizzy Stuart-Alexander as she passed through Minneapolis on her way to New York and eventually to Ethiopia. Sympathy to Anne Gibson Hutchison on the passing of her father in early November. My wish for '64 is that I might hear from each member of the class of 1952. Don't disappoint me. 1953 Secretary MRS.

Rosie is teaching sophomores Eighteenth and Nineteenth century English lit. and also is research assistant to Northrup Frye. This information came from Mary Hix Minegar, who asked me if I remembered Frye "when we were reading Eliot." You will see from the above address that we have moved - been living here since November. The last time I had a chance to poll the family, all were enthusiastic. My only complaint is the excess of domesticity that comes after a move until the time when all dirt is indisputably your own and thus can be ignored. Jimmy, who qualified in every detail but one for the Baby Cup, is now semi-literate, which fills us with awe and joy. A note from Joyce Binner Rickard tells us that she and Dave are now living in Gastonia, N. C. A capsule history of the Rickards-three years in the Philippines and Washington, D.

Jean Hudgins Frederick and Arnold have a new son born September 26, and named Lewis Arnold, Jr. I understand they plan to call him Ricky. After extending her studies in Medical Technology in places like Houston and New York this summer, I imagine Jean will be slowed down by the new baby (for a while anyway). Jean says the baby is good and her daughter is proud to have a brother in the house. Connie Booker Moe and Donald had a daughter last spring, and they are now living in Wheaton, Illinois, where Don is teaching ROTC. Merle Moody Oxley has a 10-monthold daughter named Lynne Diest.

The Yarbroughs will be leaving Texas and returning to Richmond the first of the year. Last on the new baby list is Pat Doggett Colonna and Bill who have adopted a daughter, Laura Beth. Beth is 4 months old now and Pat said with great pride that she is the best and most beautiful little girl in the whole world. Congratulations to all the expanding families.

Chief Justice ( Continued fro m page 14)

when planning the litiga,tion, Cherokee Nation v . Georgi a. Before actually accepting the case for the Indians, Wirt who was then in Baltimore , gingerly suggested to his friend Carr, that he inquire of the Chief Justice whether , in his opinion, the Cherokees could be considered a f oreign nation as the term was used in the Constitution to define the jurisdiction of the federal courts. Carr showed the letter to Marshall , who quite properly refused to pass on the question until it was presented to him in formal fashion on the bench . As everyone knows, it was on this very point that the case was finally thrown out of court. When the Cherokee controversy was renewed in W orcester v. Georgia, Wirt argued with notable passion and some success. So moving was his plea that Marshall shed tears- the first since Webster's reputedly lachrymose performance in the Dartmouth College case, and the verdict was clearly for Wirt and his redskin clients. But this was the famous decision which Jackson nullified through inaction, proclaiming, according to tradition, "Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it." It would have pleased Wirt to know that

the Supreme Court adjourned on the news of his death; that Webster, for the lawyers, with effective simplicity declared to bench and bar, "He was our brother and he was our friend," and that Marshall , never completely won by Wirt in his lifetime, bore testimony to his "diligent research and lucid reasoning." The Chief Justice added, in answer to Webster , "We too, gentlemen, in common with you, have lost the estimable friend in the powerful advocate." Of the following passage, taken from William Wirt's letter to Judge Dabney Carr, Baltimore, December 30, 1827 , only the first dozen and the last hundred and fifty-two words appear in Kennedy's edition of the document: "I should like to hear that same conversation of the Ch. Justice- [Beginning of deto tell you the honest leted material]-for truth I never did suppose that the Chief Justice either liked me- or thought much of me- a number of untoward circumstances have operated to my disadvantage with him - I will tell you some of them- I once (abt the year 1800) bore to him at the request of Meriwether Jones, a letter demanding an explanation of some expression he had used on the floor of congress abt- [ illegible J of slander newspapers - Meriwether being then the editor of the Examiner. He happened to have company that day, which I did not know, when I sent word by the servant that I wished to see him privately- He read the letter- was a good deal excited-tho' it was the excitement of a soldier, and sd with gleaming eyes and a firm voice that he wd answer it- but that he had company and could not attend to it then - and he looked at me as if he thought me a political conspirator against him . You know how high parties then were- & how they hated each other- Jack Stuart had been turned out of the House of Delegates for his federal politics- and I had been put in his placethis was another offence to Mar shal1l the head of the federal party in Richel. I assisted in the prosecution of Burr- & said some things which the Chief disliked- and disliked merely because they were susceptible of a meaning injurious to himself which he believed was not mine- and which was not mine-he spoke to me to correct the stenographic notes of this nature [ ?] - which I promised and intended to do-but forgot it. Then there was the British Spy you know at which his wife was exceedingly angryThen my rencontres with Wickham-and the impression with Watkins Leigh-and which those gentlemen for a time and a long time most industriously inculcated that I was a light and pretty dealaimer-- but neither a lawyer- nor a reasoner-and had no mental force or strength - Then, too, the intrinsic difference in the character of my mind and that of the Chief-He witht any imagination - and I with a pretty strong seasoning, perhaps an over-seasoning of it-and now again Webster a fed/ chieftain and a favorite of the old Chief considers me as his rival and as frequently in the way of his fame-and [ 37]

both Webster & Story ( the Ch. Justice['Js bosom friends) have no great love for me -Story among other things having taken it into his noddle that I may perchance stand in the way of his being Ch. Justice when the post is vacated- all these things combined have long since led me to believe that I was no favorite with the old Chief- I suspect you will think me a very suspicious fellow - a character which I do most exceedingly despise-But I have observed so much of the working of those feelings among men, that it does not anger me to remark their operation agt myself- I she! not for example think at all the less of the Ch. Justice if he ostertained [entertained?} the opinion of me which I am sure he has heard expressed of me a thousand times- that I was rather a whip syllabub genius. I shd believe the opinion unjust - but I shd attribute it to that prejudice which I have seen many a time imbecloud the strongest minds-without pairing their strength in the slightest degree on other subjects. [End of deleted material] However I will excuse you from reporting the aforesd conversation since you think there is danger of its making me a come to the conclusion vain youth-and at once that I am a great favorite with the Chief Justice, as he certainly is with me whether he likes me or not- I do not believe he has an atom of gall in his whole composition on any other subject than that of politics- on that, with him as with many other great men in the union, they will never forget the fall that M r Jefferson gave them - haeret lateri lethalis arundo- but politics apart, there is not a better natured man in the world than the old chief- and a more powerful mind was scarcely ever sent upon this earth - he ranks in my estimation with Mansfield and Thurlow & H arwicke-the standards of judici al excellence- the classics of the Bench- "
